weekend review

Rose just fell asleep, so I decided to take a moment to be thankful for the lovely weekend we had. Here were some highlights:
* leaving work of Friday with no "homework" for the weekend!
* making banana rhubarb muffins, chocolate zucchini bread, savory zucchini pie, chocolate zucchini muffins with vanilla frosting, and zucchini cheese pancakes
* going for a short family bike ride Saturday afternoon
* seeing my friend Dotty and her kids for a walk around Lake of the Isles on Saturday morning
* going to the MN Zoo for "family time" on Sunday morning
* running into Aryn at the lake on Saturday and Dotty at the zoo on Sunday
* getting to quilt for 2.5 hours while Rose napped on Saturday
* talking to my parents on the phone last night
* sleeping in until 7am on Saturday
* eating Mike's amazing Sunday night supper - and seeing Rose gobble it up as well!
* seeing Rose "speak" in a sentence for the first time! (she combined the signs for "more" and "milk" to ask for "more milk"!)

The "lowlight" of the weekend was definitely the children's puppet show that we tried to attend at the zoo this morning. As soon as the lights went down and the hostess came out dressed as a hawk, it was all over - Rose SCREAMED bloody murder and wouldn't stop until we left. I felt so bad for scaring her! I guess we'll wait a bit before we try that again.

I didn't take any still pictures this weekend, but I did take a couple videos. I'll upload them as soon as I can. Hope you all had a lovely weekend as well! :)
